Deacon James Mitchell, died at
his residence in Glover Feb. 28th,
after long and painful illness, which
was borne with Christian fOrtitude.
Dea. Mitchell was born in Scotland
in 1908, and came to this country a
poor boy when - years of age. He
was industrious and frugal and soon
laid by money with which to purchase
a small place, soon to be exchanged
| for forest farm which has been
! subdued and made one of the most
productive in this section. He mar
ried Susan White, and though
no children survive them, their
home has been one of blessing to
many. Dea. Mitchell was long a
member of Reformed Presbyteri-
an church of this place, and was
foremost in every good work. The
funeral conducted by Rev. j. C..
TAYLOR was at the late home, large
number attending. The church and
town are great losers by his death,
but his example and his memory will
long be revered. He leaves his prop
